If your device is broken and you've sent it over to Apple for replacement, you are in for luck as the newer device has so many goodies compared to the aged variant. Apple Insider has clarified that this is not a hard-line policy from Apple, rather store managers can decide if an in-stock iPad 4, iPad Air, or iPad Air 2 is used as a replacement for servicing. As it would depend on factors such as availability of stocks in specific regions, or if your iPad 4 qualifies for a free upgrade.

The move to replace the broken units at the cost of the service fix is at the discretion of the store managers.

Google, an ad company, will soon block 'bad ads' in Chrome
But it's worth asking if this feature would even be an ad-blocker, at least in the sense that most people think of ad blockers. The increased adoption of ad-blockers has caused ample strain for many sites, some of which have buckled under the burden.

According to Apple Insider, the iPad 4 could also be replaced by the 2017 iPad in rare cases. The iPad Air 2 16 GB and 64 GB models were discontinued earlier.

REUTERS/Mike SegarAn employee carries a stack of new Apple iPad Air tablets inside the Apple Store on New York's fifth avenue after the new iPad went on sale Friday, November 1, 2013. It is now simply named "iPad". Launching mid-ranged high-end devices are the only way to encourage tablet users to abandon their devices and grab a new one. Bump it up to $459 and you'll get cellular connectivity on top of Wi-Fi. Although the company didn't reveal any specific information about the iPad Pro Mini, but it seems that 9.7-inchs model can be considered as a mini version of iPad Pro 2.

Apple aims to rebrand their Ipad air2with this new launch.

However, while there is a bit of catch, this is still potentially a great way to get a free upgrade. Do you have an erring fourth-generation iPad that's in dire in need of fix? Feel free to sound off in the comments section below, as always.
